Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated right in the center of the city, offering an incredible location with easy access to many beautiful spots in Ho Chi Minh City. The rooms, though somewhat small and humid, boast high-quality finishes and great amenities. The service provided by the Caravelle hotel staff is friendly, professional, and goes the extra mile to assist guests. Additionally, dealing politely with even difficult guests shows their dedication to customer satisfaction. The dining experience is excellent, featuring fresh and amazing dishes, while the facilities are top-notch.
Despite the musty smell in my room and worn appearance of other areas, the hotel's service was exceptional and very helpful. The location, although touristy, provided easy access to city attractions. However, the dining experience was hindered by slow service and lack of organization.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of wonderful and disappointing experiences. The rooms, while lacking a river view in the Deluxe Twin room I booked, were still wonderful, comfortable, and stylish, providing a relaxing retreat after a busy day in Saigon. The service was mostly pleasant and helpful, with standout interactions with Phúc, Nhp, Oanh, Linn & Tri, but there were some instances of confusion and loud behavior. The location was amazing, being close to everything needed for a young family, but the ongoing refurbishment was a downside. Dining offered high-quality options but was a bit repetitive and pricey for Vietnam standards.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and well-maintained, although some may need an update. The newly renovated room I stayed in felt luxurious. The air conditioning worked perfectly. The service was top-notch, especially from Phúc, Nhp, Oanh, Linn & Tri, who were super helpful and accommodating. The location was ideal in district 1 of Ho Chi Minh City, perfect for exploring the area. The dining experience, while accommodating, offered a limited selection. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay with some room for improvement in certain areas.
The Caravelle Saigon is a great choice for families; rooms are not 5 stars standard but very clean and well-appointed, providing a comfortable stay. The service at Saigon Saigon is extremely friendly and helpful, especially from Phuong and Anh, adding a personal touch to the experience. The location is easy to find and very close to downtown, making it convenient for exploring the city. However, the rooms are old and not quite what you expect from a 5-star hotel.
I had a mixed experience at the Caravelle Saigon. The rooms were decent; the upgrade and birthday cake were lovely touches, but the old, dirty, and stinky carpet, along with the loud music from next door, were major drawbacks. The service at Saigon Saigon was exceptional, with helpful and always smiling staff. While the location was extremely well-positioned in the city center, the outdated facilities were disappointing. The dining experience was below expectations for a 5-star hotel, despite the availability of grilled steaks.
I had a splendid stay at the hotel, with beautiful and spacious rooms, although there was a slight off smell. The service was incredibly helpful and welcoming, while the location is perfect for exploring the city centre. The dining experience offered fantastic dishes, but it was a bit expensive. Overall, it was a memorable experience.
I had an amazing stay at the hotel! The location was perfect, right in the heart of Hochiminh city for all types of activities, from shopping to exploring. The rooms were spacious, with an extra large bed and top-notch bed linen. I even had a coffee machine in the room, which was a nice touch. The service was incredibly attentive, from the bell guys to the housekeepers, everyone was always there to help. The location was central to everything, making it super convenient to explore the city. The dining experience was fantastic with a wide variety of Asian and Western dishes to choose from. Overall, a great value for money!
